No it’s not. Given the actions of the current administration it is vital that else learn to distinguish between a real issue and non-issues and react accordingly. People only have so many hours in their day or energy to spend on caring about something. If we overreact to every minor event, we will use up precious energy and political capital on useless panic. Worse we will train people that when we raise the alarm there’s actually nothing to worry about. Have we all forgotten the lessons of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? Have we forgotten that not only is the lesson that if you keep crying wolf people will stop believing you, but also that eventually the wolf will come and it will eat all the sheep and everyone will starve?
- alistairSH 1y agoThat's fair, except the administration is also making noise about removing/reducing habeas corpus. At the same time, somebody in Congress has removed the bit of the constitution that informs the people that habeas corpus exists. This isn't Sydney Sweeney in blue jeans, this is a core tenet of our republic.

- Eddy_Viscosity2 1y agoNo, its a core tenet that was displayed on a website (or at least it was until it was removed).
